Venice of the East
Suzhou has been dubbed as Venice of the East. But as many canals have been filled up and replaced by roads, there are only a few moats and navigable canals left. So take as many photos as you can before they all disappeared soon.

This temple was built during the Southern Song Dynasty (AD 502 - 519), and is about 1500 years old now. It is located in the west of the Suzhou city, on Fengqiao Road. The former name of this temple was "Puming Pagoda Yard". It was later re-named "Hanshan Temple" because a monk name "Hanshan Zi" once stayed here.
This temple is famed for its association with the poem "Berthing at Fengqiao at Night" (Feng Qiao Ye Po), composed by Zhang Ji.
I don´t really remember the name of this park, but as Suzhou is a small city, I imagine that it´s not hard to find it.
I just spent an afternoon at Suzhou, just visiting some relatives and they took me to this park...it was really worth it...
It´s full of lotus flower, of course...the architecture and the little lakes are amazing!
You can also buy a lotus and eat the seeds....it´s nice...:D
It was 3 kuai one lotus, I guess...
This picture shows the woman who was selling the lotus...
The famous three twins lotus
